A Safer Place

Now that you're gone,
You no longer drag from behind.
You're in the arms of a stranger.
So many thoughts fill up my mind.
Now I can live for myself.
It's easier to breathe
It's what I've been waiting for
I hoped you'd finally leave.
I hoped you'd finally leave
Without you in my life
Reason comes left and right
I feel like I'm free.
This is the best thing that ever happened to me. (Oohh)
Girl, it's hard to see you go this time.
But I know it's right.
It's not worth the fight that's your life.
You were always the anchor
I'm glad you don't want me.
You're better off at sea.
My last breath is mine.
You don't need me to know what's right.
You don't need me to know what's right!
You finally moved on.
You realized we had almost nothing.
(Almost nothing)
And what we had was a lie.
*With chant* We were sinking.
Without you in my life
Reason comes left and right
I feel like I'm free.
This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Girl, it's hard to see you go this time.
But I know it's right.
It's not worth the fight that's your life.
I was ready to give up
Afraid this would mess everything up
I was ready to give up
Afraid this would mess everything up
I'm still finding my place in this world
This world full of opportunity
It's hard to think that I'm finally free
But what path will I choose
I don't want to lose
faith in a healthy life.
Which way is right?
All that is left,
Is my desire to fight
For you
I've got to push it away!
I've got... To.. Push it away!
Without you in my life
Reason comes left and right
I feel like I'm free.
This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Without you in my life
Reason comes left and right
I feel like I'm free.
This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Now that you're out of the way
I won't miss my opportunity
My life in your shadow
Is fading away
(Is fading away)
I swore I wouldn't try
to keep you here with me.
Where is the future I wanted,
Where lives break free of your chains?
You've got your eyes set on the best
But it means nothing to me.
You better hope that you're ready
For the burden my life will be.

The Risks You Take
04:39
|

This makes us absolutely nothing
It was meant to be our home
You my heart closed in your over tightened hands
Leaving me
Without a chance
My mistake was listening to you
But I can't get away
Breathe in deep
Cut the loss
Impressions
Cant be fought
Mimicking
Your every move
Imprinting guilt
And escaping soon
My hearts in your hand
You've got a master plan
But the life you're living is dangerous
Careful
They might just throw you away
Don't count on me
To save the day
I thought we traveled
Far from the start
But I'm just a hostage
Inside your heart
In your heart
Get rid of that terrible person
Your old resemblance
You think that I'm caring
It's not a dependence
You've got to let me go
this love doesn't exist
To call us 'together'
Would be taking a risk
At a single moment
I thought you were the one
but it's clear to me now
That we're said and done
Skyscrapers
Pretend to shake
So hold on
For dear life's sake
You can pretend all you want
But by now, I've moved on.
Now that you're finally gone
I can be myself.
Now that you're finally gone
I can be myself.
Let me know, let me know when you've changed.
You're the cause of my pain, you're to blame.
Wake me up, wake me up when you change.
You're just like what you hate, you're the same.

Paralysis By Analysis
05:01
|
|||
Motionless, I lay on the ground.
You speak to me with fear on your breath.
I open my eyes to see your beautiful self once more.
But by then your gone.
I wanna know what happened.
Where has all that's good gone?
The very bones of my body shatter
Once I've realized you've been thinking for too long.
My breath is frozen in the air.
My hands trembling like I killed a man.
You tell me it's all bullshit as fast as you said you loved me...
CHORUS
Take me back
Just give me another chance to show you I'm worthy
To show you I'm ready to be a man
I didn't want it to end up like this
I can say I'm sorry but it wouldn't make any sense
It was you who made this mess
POSTCHORUS
I am the victim,
You are the traitor.
We were so perfect,
Was ending it worth it?
CHORUS
Take me back
Just give me another chance to show you I'm worthy
To show you I'm ready to be a man
I didn't want it to end up like this
I can say I'm sorry but it wouldn't make any sense
It was you who made this mess
Do you think what you did,
Was the best choice?
Say it to my face,
Fill me with white noise.
I wanna hear your voice!
BRIDGE
I always thought you would be
The one that would grow old with me.
We threw away all our promises, our memories.
And what does it mean to you?
You ignore every plea.
CHORUS
Take me back
Just give me another chance to show you I'm worthy
To show you I'm ready to be a man
I didn't want it to end up like this
I can say I'm sorry but it wouldn't make any sense
It was you who made this mess
Everything I see reminds me of you.
They always tell me
that I'll find someone better,
That It wasn't meant to be.
Fuck what you think!
Always misunderstanding
Taking my words wrong everyday.
You think I'm immature?
How long have you thought this way?
You try to overlook things.
Trick yourself into falling in love.
Think about what you've done,
And tell me you didn't break my heart.

Contingency
03:54
|

On this path,
You're headed for hell.
The ghosts all around us
Are ready to kill.
Watch your back
Cause you're all alone.
I'm on my own now
And everyone knows
You're never worth a minute
Of my precious time
You're always in it to win it all
When it's all mine
Give back what you wasted of my life!
Look around you,
And tell me what you see.
Tell me you're perfect,
Perfect for me!
Be careful, don't fall
Through the cracks down below
You'll never know (never know)
What it's like to have hope.
Lies never heal the pain.
So board your ship,
Your hall of shame.
And sail away
Get away!
Life is a lie!
Life is a lie!
What is a life if you've
Always deserved to die?
But who am I to judge?
I was never enough in your eyes.
You're so quick to give up,
So quick to hold a grudge.
On this path,
You're headed for hell.
The ghosts all around us
Are ready to kill.
Watch your back
Cause you're all alone.
I'm on my own now
And everyone knows.
Wash your hands
Clean of the guilt.
The guilt that your built on,
The king of your hill.
Your sleight of hand
Is useless with me.
I know all your tricks,
And the ground beneath your feet!
It means nothing to me!
This life's like a broken record
Repeating repeating the scene
Where you left me at sea
I'm drowning tonight
slowly losing sight
But I've gotta keep in mind
That when I'm gone it'll be alright
On this path,
You're headed for hell.
The ghosts all around us
Are ready to kill.
Watch your back
Cause you're all alone.
I'm on my own now
And everyone knows.
They're all out to get you
They crave a machine
Where passion is lacking
And death has no means
Your heartless desires
Are over! (It's over!)
Your future's crumbled inside your hands.

Defector

Is it always this hard to say goodbye?
I sailed too far out of sight.
I can't survive
The waves that surround us command this vessel
I've lost control
I'm struggling to stay on my feet.
Will this be the end of me?
My life's in the hands of our creator.
But Im not ready to meet my maker.
Oh please let me live this life one more time.
I'm not ready to die.
You can have my life I can see them one more time.
Just one more time.
Will this be the end of me?
Will this be the end of me?
Will this be the end of me?
Will this be the end of me?
